- .'.; Idolizing Men.
" Icro-worship," which is a notable char
acteristic of Ca vie perhaps the greatest
..- hnglish i writer -of this century and of
Mother eminent inen, is proper when you
'bestow it judiciously. T o say, however,
Unit a second or third-rate poet is the
equal of acknowledged princes of song, or
that a great orator who had no contem-
porary reputation for magnetism is the
greatest of orators, ancient or modern, is
to stretch' the worship of heroes beyond
J he judicious point, in our opinion. The
Six mentions these possible departures
;. 'Ironi' what it esteems genuine, admissible
!icro-worship, bi'canse they suggest, them
selves first. I
There are honest differences in the criti-
cisni of men. We can't all think alike.
'' The weiglitest of the English critics of the
Intli century, and some think the greatest
of Mritish critics of morals, Dr. Samuel
John'- on, was conspicuously unjust to some
of the grandest names in English letters.
Milton, (Jniy and others suffered at his
' hands that is, they would have suffered
if 'the world had not beea more discriminat
ing in their case and likewise more gener
ous .than the great-Doctor. There are
some who hold the canons of criticism like
Andrew Johnson hold his ideas of admin
istration. With .-nch persons criticism is
a matter of pronouns. "My" judgment is
mature ; yours necessarily immature.. Thjs
. jaunty, off-hand manner carries con
viction, but it convinces only those who
arej already of that opinion or that class
which accepts any dictum however crude
or ill-digested it nny be as authority. Now
egotism in criticism, as in some other
things, is not bad when it is confined with
in reasonable- bounds. Some of the raciest
books in ou!language have been written
by I men and women, who were profound
egotists. The godlike has varied and
abundant uses. At none of these does
The Sex cavil, but only at the manifest
abuses. So delightful a Avriter and so
potent a critic as Sainte-Beuve has insisted
on the personal or biographical element in
criticism, and if he could employ it as to
his I subjects surely it could enter in at
another door, namely, inspire the man
who addresses' himself to the subject in
hand. Xo, 'we believe in a moderate Ego
From (that remark to the idolizing of
men. We have said that judicious high
praise of eminent men is admissible. What
is judicious praise for example, of such a
.maii as Vance, who has just been nomina
ted a Senator of the United States by the
Democratic caucus of, the North Carolina
- Lcgisture? if a critic were to say that
(Joy. Vance is the greatest living orator,
only the noodle-headed hero-worshipper
' would concur. If he were" to pronounce
Vance a more brilliant : writer than
Burke or Macaulay and a more consum.
mate statesman than Richelieu or Bis
marck, nearly everynntelligent.man would
value the criticism at ml: Again, if this
supposititious critic were to assume
? that now that Vance is likely to take his
place among his peers in the Senate a
greater than all Americans "who have ever
lived was1 rising on the world, there would
be no one to give him a moment's consid
eration. The Sun takes this instauc be
cause it is at hand. True hero-worship is
distinguished from false by the exercise of
common ense, and the i application: of the
( principles of justice and truth. To affirm
either of the above supposed claims for
our excellent Governor and Senator-to-be,
is to flout common sense and outrage prob
ability. The Governor may do "unutterable
things" before he dies, but few men are
so wild as to pTant him now on an Olympian
throne. If he gets there however, there
is no sin against the canons of criticism,'
no crime against self-respect ' in plainly
awarding him homage.: The Sex finds
that'many of those who decry hero-worship
and partisanship are themselves on oc
casions the supplest flatterers or the in-
- tensest partisans. After all the only safe
rule in these as in other matters is to be
frank, hearty and jnanly--to avow honest
opinions, to have opinions and not preju
dices and to be willing to allow that other
; views than our own are sometimes entitled
to consideration. - ' ,
The State Board of Health, s
A number of public-spirited physicians
have contemplated for years a system of
State hygiene. This they were enabled to
inaugurate by the help of the last Legis
. lature, which, however, doled out pecuni
ary aid with a niggard hand. An appro
priation so i meagre and inadequate was
made as almost to defeat the plan of a
State Board of -Health so zealously urged
in the interest of humanity. 1" ' !- -
3 We purpose this morning briefly to call
the attention of the present Legislature
to the necessity for doing something
which will put this Board on a safe foot
ing. The . Board is a public institution.
Its establishment is a public benefit, pro
vided it can secure a modest sum to en
able it to work efficiently. It is well or
ganized, and only heeds a small fund to
put it on a firm footing; The North Caro
lina Medical Society has hopefully nursed
the enterprise. But doctors are poor, and
after all it is not their duty to provide a
ready-made sanitary ' system for the
State, and keep the wheels greased
too. The Society has. however,
with a noble generosity employed what it
could of its own means to assist in getting
the Board into operation.' It is now the
becoming'thing for the Legislature to come
to its assistance. The paltry appropriation
of $100, made by the last Legislature,; was
hardly sufficient to pay the stationery and
printing bills. Let the General Assembly
make an appropriation ; which;shall contri
bute materially to the great cause of our
public health, a cause which the Federal
government has thought worthy of forward
ing in all possible ways.
In this connection we would say, refer
ring to the extended circular of the Amer
ican Public Health Association, printed
in The Sun of the 16th, that the Associa
tion relies for information and advice to
some extent, at least, on the State boards
ot health, yif these boards are not pro
vided with means, how can they obtain
information ? Of course not having scien
tific data on which to base an opinion ad
vice wou!d be impossible. Therefore, and
for the reasons previously stated, we hope,
our Legislature will make an appropria
tion for this important purpose. .
The family quarrel between the Admin
istration and' the stalwarts goes bravely
on. Conkling denounces the acting Presi
dent in executive session of the Senate,
witherinelv speakiiiir of him as "'Mr.
Hayes," and when reprove'd repeating his
remarks and ; asserting by the use of the
monosyllable "b-if that he was speaking of
Mr. Hayes, not the President of the United
States. Now, Lord Rascoe, of the kingly
strut will be valiant enough in speech, but
when the time conies to put his views into
practice, he will either bend the supple
hinges of the" knee or absent himself from
the Senate Chamber.

CONTESTS IN THE IlbrsE.
The annexed embraces' a list of all the sehts
in the House over which . here will probably
be contests in the Forty-sixth Congress:
Florida'. The majority for Hull (dem.) in
the second district being only 13, Bisbee
(rep.) may contest the seat.
Illinois. In the fifteenth district the seat of
Forsvthc (nat.) may be contested by Decius,
(dem.) In Shelby county the Bepublicans
printed their ballots "Forsyth," without the
"e," so as to be able to claim or repudiate the
candidate, as might be neceessary. The judges
returned .095 for Forsyth and 1,528 for For
sythe, but the State canvassers gave them all
to Forsythe, whose vote was 13,11X5 to 12,942
for Decius, who claimed that he should have
recieved the certificate and the burden of
showing that Forsyth and Forsythe were iden
tical been thrown on his opponent. In the
second district W. II. Condon (nat.) has
given notice that he will contest the seat. of S.
R. Davis, (rep.,) whose plurality was 4,2315,
Condon only recieying 259 votes in a poll of
nearly 21,000 votes, but the notice is said to
be irregular.
Indiana. In the ninth district the scat of
Orth (rep.) will be contested by McCabe,
(dem.,) who was beaten by 97. There art
charges that some twenty-five or more college
students, not residents the State, voted for
Orth, and fraud is alleged in Virmillion and
Montgomery counties. The latter was at tiist
reported as having given McCabe 869 , but
fifteen hours afterwards this was' reduced to
-261.
Iowa. There i likely to be a muddle in
consequence of the claim that the October
election was not legal, and that the members
elected in November are entitled to their seats.
Elections were held in six districts in Novem
ber, when the following gentlemen obtained
majorities:
2. Hiram Price, R. 5. Rush Clark. R. 6. J.
B. Weaver, D. and N. 7. E. II. Gillette, D.
S. J. C. Holmes, D. 9. JohnW. Wilson, D.
The first four were elected in October, and
took this step to mak either claim good in either
contingency. Republicans having done this
as well as democrats, it cannot be alleged that
the move was a "party dodge," and the best
legal opinion of Iowa is divided as to the
regularity of the first election . .
Louisina. In the third district Hebert
(Rep. and Nat.) will contest the seat of
Acklen, (Dem.)
Maryland . In thefifth districtCrane ( Rep . )
will eentest the seat of Hcnkle (Dem.) on
the ground of fraud and interference with
supervisors.
Massachusetts. In the sixth district Boyn-
ton (National ) will contest the seat of Lonng,
(Rep.;) alleging, among other reasons, that
431 votes for the latter did not specify the
office to be filled. Loring's plurality over
Boynton was 113.'
Minnesota. In the third district Donnelly
(Dem aedNat.) will contest the seat of
Washburn (rep . ) on grounds of bribery, &c .
Washburn's majority was 3,013, but the contestant-will
further claim that it was largely
made up by counting votes of counties not
properly organized and omitting Democratic
votes .
New'York In the twenty -fifth district J.
M. Wieting (nat. and dem.) will contest the
seal of Hiscock (rep.), who was elected by
3,425, on grounds of alleged corruption and
intimidation.
North Carolina--In the first district Yeates
(dem . ) will probably contest the seat of Mar
tin (rep.), the State canvassers having de
clined to go behind the returns, which on their
face gave Martin 51 majority. In the second
O'Hara (rep.) will contest the seat of Kitchln
(dem.) claiming that his votes were illegally
thrown out in Halifax, Edgecombe, Craven
and Lenoir counties, which sent up amended
returns.
Pennsylvania In the twentiethdistrict Cur
tin (dem.) will contest the seat of Yocum
(nat. and rep.) on the ground of fraud' and
bribery; Yocum's majority was 92 . There is
a squabble over the seat of Klots (dem . ) in
the eleventh district, which is claimed by Al
baight. The canvassing board split but Klotz
has filed the judicially certified returns of all
the counties with the clerk of the House as a
safeguard . They give him 95 majority . There
has been some talk of McCandlesg (dem.)
contesting the seat of Bingham (rep.) in the
first district, where: Bingham's plurality was
7,427.
Virginia In the ninth district it is said that
McMullln (hid. dem.) will contest the seat of
Richmond (dem.), who was elected by a plu
rality of 291.
Wisconsin In the third district King (nat.)
will prohably contest the seat of Hazteton
(rep . ) , whose majority was 120,'on the ground
of colonization of voters iu Lafayette county .

(HiLLsnoKo Recorder. )
Its list of contributors is an an able one
and if sustained, will ensure the permanent
success of the enterprise-.
(Wilmington Post.)
. It is a first-class literay magazine, and one
that the people of this city should be proud of
and pationize, as well as the people of the
whole state.
(Raleigh .Observer.)
It is needless to say we wish it success, and
that we look forward with prid'e as well as
pleasure, to the r suit of the entcrpNe as one
that will reflect honor upon .the State.
(Oxford Tokchi.iojit.)
The typographical execution of the magazine

tents, and indeed in all lesp'eets it is a publi
cation which must commend itself to the
public. '
. (Graham Gleaner.)
It gives' promise o being eminently worthy

contributors, which we give as an evidence of
of the worth f)f the periodical.
(Farmer and Mechanic.)
Here we have a rich bill of fare from South
ern writers, catered by a Southern lady and

this enterprise live, and expand?
(Wilson Advance.)
The magazine is well gotten up. The sub
ject matter is varied and entertaining, while
lus ijpograpmcai appearance is a model of
! neatness, and reflects the highest credit upon
( the exquisite taste and excellent iudo-ment
that suggested and directed its consummation.
(Norfolk Virginian.)
South lor a staple support. It richlv merits it
i auu we icei win receive it. We know of no

so much merit, united with an evidence of
management that must. win for it a position in
the ranks of magazine literature and hold it
n . i . . "
I (Fetermiro Index & Appe.vl.-)
' The South-Atlantic has this merit over
i any of its predecessors in the same arena, that
its contents are solid, though not heavy, and
mat, no room appears to nave been intended In
it for productions of a trashy and frivolous
character. . While it continues to adhere to
this rule,Jt will have every claim on Southern
and genel support, and we sincerely trust
it will receive it.
(Danville News.)
This is a most excellent publication a mag
azine of high character, aif honor to the State,
and a credit to the whole South. All its pages
are filled with articles of superior excellence
and interest. It has for its contributors some

monthly deserves a liberal patronage as a first
class southern enterprise.
' (Raleigh News!)
Peculiarly Southern in its character, and
numbering among its contributors some of the
best and most vigorous writers in the country,
it bears upon its face the 6tamp of originality
and force. The interest of its serial stories has
never ceased, while the shorter, casual articles
have been marked by & vigor peculiarly their
own. All topics are discussed, and thus - the
world's progress is closely followed. The
magazine has from its inception been received
with peculiar favor by North Carolinians, nor
have its merits failed to receive iust encomiums
from persons of ability everywhere. tf'
